Having relieved himself of that devout aspiration, he took up the tray again, and decided on letting the turtle-doves have their dinner. Bishopriggs. Too restless to remain long in one place, Anne had risen again from the sofa, and had rejoined Arnold at the window. "Where do your friends at Lady Lundie's believe you to be now?" she asked, abruptly.
"I forbid you to mention that woman's name again in my hearing," pursued her ladyship. "Sir Patrick! My worst anticipations are realized. Miss Silvester has left the house!" IT was still early in the afternoon when the guests at Lady Lundie's lawn-party began to compare notes together in corners, and to agree in arriving at a general conviction that "some thing was wrong."
The men in charge were drinking beer from blue and white mugs. It seemed to me a pretty sight, but Penfentenyou said it represented Our National Attitude. Lord Lundie's summer resting-place we learned was a farm, a little out of the village, up a hill round which curled a high hedged road.
After what had passed that morning between Arnold and Blanche, if he remained at Lady Lundie's, he had no alternative but to perform his promise to Anne. He suddenly tossed the letter away from him on the table, and snatched a sheet of note-paper out of the writing-case. "Here goes for Mrs. Glenarm!" he said to himself; and wrote back to his brother, in one line: "Dear Julius, Expect me to-morrow.
Just so the library." "Add," said Sir Patrick, with another pressure on the blister, "that The Person had an interview with Blanche in the library." Lady Lundie's pen suddenly stuck in the paper, and scattered a little shower of ink-drops all round it. "The library," repeated her ladyship, in a voice suggestive of approaching suffocation. "I undertake to control myself, Sir Patrick!
"I care not for your envy, or your hypocrisy, or even for your human natur'," returned Pathfinder. "Jasper Eau-douce is my friend; Jasper Eau-douce is a brave lad, and an honest lad, and a loyal lad; and no man of the 55th shall lay hands on him, short of Lundie's own orders, while I'm in the way to prevent it.
She trembled a little. There was a horrible certainty of conviction expressed in Lady Lundie's sudden change of manner. "How?" she asked. "You shall see. Tell me the truth, on your side, first. Where is Sir Patrick? Is he really out, as his servant told me?" "Yes. He is out with the farm bailiff. You have taken us all by surprise. You wrote that we were to expect you by the next train."
"But, my dear fool," Penfentenyou almost wept, "do you pretend that these banana-fingered amateurs at home are grown up?" "You poor, serious, pagan man," I retorted, "if you take 'em that way, you'll wreck your Great Idea." "Will you take him to Lord Lundie's to-morrow?" said the Agent-General promptly. "I suppose I must," I said, "if you won't." "Not me!
